Location: |
1803 North 7th Street Grand Junction |
Details: |
The number of people who have died from COVID-19 has surpassed 300,000. In an attempt to grasp the magnitude of the number of people who have died Linda McBride and Rachel Egelston, artists from Grand Junction, have collaborated in the creation of The Rose Petals COVID Memorial. This is special community art project recognizing & honoring Americans, their families, and friends who have lost their lives this year due to COVID-19.
Dozens of panels have been printed with beautiful red rose petals overlaid with 4,680 small squares. The community has been invited to place a silver dot inside each square representing a person who has died from COVID. This process of intentionally placing dots on the panels, has been done in silence with love and honor, as each square is symbolic of each life.

BETTER TO LIGHT A CANDLE...
6:00pm-6:15pm, At people's homes
2020 has been the darkest night, of a very dark year. Somehow, we made it. There appears to be no respite in sight, so we must make time for

Spiritual succor. Light a candle, flashlight, lantern, firepit, etc., to defy the dark, and let our neighbors know we are with them. Immediately after the lighting, people can look up and see the very rare conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter. There light, so close together, has been known as the Christmas Star; hasn't been like this since 1226. I can send a press release if you send me an address. Thank you!
